Sally's AMEP-C class organised an international food market day at St George TAFE. They were supported by the Student Association and many of the ESOL students and teachers, who instead of bringing their own lunch, bought it from the AMEP-C market.

The posters were all designed and created by the students. This one was done by Ana Luisa.

Do you organise events like this one? Tell us about it. Let's talk!

Steve Irwin is the most famous man in the world. He had a TV program called:” Crocodile Hunter”. He also had Irwin’s Australia Zoo in Queensland where everyone could see many different animals.

Script:

There are 18 students in our class from different countries (India, Chile, Brazil, Macedonia, China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Ukraine, Lebanon, Egypt), and ages 19 to 60. We live in Sydney Australia. All of us are migrants.

There are four levels in the AMEP course. We are level four and study full time from February to November, also we are studying computer skills at the same time.

We have two teachers, both very good teachers: Liz is Australian and Rosa from Spain. Liz’s class is for practising our pronunciation and writing, and Rosa’s class is a lot of grammar, homework and blogging.

Our English had improved a lot since the first time that we came to TAFE.

Most of us are very happy to live in Australia.

Australia is an easy going country, the Australian people are friendly.

Listen to Ana (from the Ukraine), Gloria (from Chile), Dina (from Bangladesh) and Huong (from Vietnam) introducing themselves.

Send us a comment. Let's talk!
